Endgate-Mounted Spare
If your vehicle has an endgate
carrier, you must move the carrier arm out of the way to
open the glass.
Here's how to move the arm:
1. Squeeze the release handle to free the carrier arm.
2. Swing the carrier arm away from the endgate. You
may need to give it a slight tug.
3. To latch the carrier arm, swing it toward the endgate.
